Chapter 81: A disturbing truth begins to emerge
«Drakhul... my beloved Drakhul... three months have passed, and still not a day goes by without thinking about the wonderful moments we shared... Uff... why does life have to be so unfair?!» Velune sobs, clutching a piece of brown fabric to her chest.
It’s a piece of Drakhul’s cloak—the only fragment left of him.
Velune managed to retrieve it just before she was captured by Shin and the others.
She keeps it like a sacred relic, hidden in secret and guarded with obsessive care.
«Seems like spending so much time around the living is making you lose your mind.»
A male voice echoes behind her—someone approached without Velune even noticing.
She slowly turns around and shoots him an annoyed glare.
«Didn’t anyone ever teach you that eavesdropping is rude, Shin Tendo?» Velune mutters, visibly irritated.
«I doubt talking to a filthy rag counts as a conversation,» Shin replies with a smirk.
«Anyway... am I wrong, or is that piece of cloth part of Drakhul Volkom’s clothes? You hid it well, but just in case, I’d better confiscate it.»
Shin reaches out to grab the fabric, but Velune quickly pulls it back, stuffing it into the pocket of the HESPARC uniform she’s been forced to wear for months—replacing the far more revealing and flashy outfits of a loli mistress she used to love, just for the organization’s image.
